The irony is truly hilarious, keep it up champ.
I agree runner up.

Had a terrible record on sub continent prior to that and apparently a nightmare in the nets.

Start it was 0/0. End of day one is a decent start, when going in to bat first. Simples

When even an ex australia coach is saying he didn't think it carried it makes you wonder.

When 2 field umpires and the third umpire are saying there’s nothing to suggest that it didn’t carry, it makes you wonder.

You’re predictably boring as usual.....

Yet, you replied.


I'll help you out though. By reviewing it the umpires are literally saying they're not sure and that there's something to suggest it didn't carry. If not, they would have just given it out.

let me help you out......after reviewing it, even with the availability of technology, there's nothing to suggest that the on-field umpire should change the original decision. Move on......

BTW....why did you remove your 'thanks to me'? Youre getting sloppy!!!!!!

Finger slipped when meaning to hit quote.

When did the umpires make an onfield decision? I'll help you out, they didn't.

If there wasn't a suggestion it was grounded, why didn't they just give him out?
